Full transcript

Try tickling yourself right now. Go on. Nothing, right? But why? Your brain constantly monitors every movement your body makes. Before your fingers even land, your brain has already predicted exactly what you'll feel. That prediction cancels the sensation — your brain essentially mutes your own touch. But someone else's touch? Completely unpredictable — so your brain can't cancel it, and you burst out laughing. Your brain is always one step ahead — silently predicting your tickles before you can feel them.
